Description

Overheard as I rack up for this climb: "That thing is so thin!" Is it a steep slab or a less than vertical face climb? You be the judge. Crimp and technique your way past 4 bolts to the anchor. Somewhere in there are a few good holds and some fun moves. The toughest moves come between the first two bolts and just before the last bolt. Pitching off just before the anchor is heartbreaking.
